    About Erika

    Erika Williams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Louisiana. She has about 10 years of experience helping people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, and ADHD. Erika also supports people facing relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting stress, and life transitions.

    Her work begins by building a strong, respectful relationship with each person. She encourages honest conversation and listens without judgment. That relationship is where clients can say what matters to them and start to find ways forward.

    Erika blends practical strategies with a focus on the person’s experience. She uses client-centered techniques and cognitive behavioral methods to help people notice patterns and try small changes. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about taking the next step.

    Sessions aim to be curious and down-to-earth. Erika invites creativity and straightforward talk about values, choices, and goals. She works with issues such as abandonment, commitment and communication problems, blended family stress, infidelity, substance concerns, and multicultural challenges.

    Clients can expect a mix of problem-solving and exploration. Erika emphasizes honesty and emotional courage while supporting realistic steps. The goal is to help people identify what matters, reduce distress, and move toward more meaningful daily life.

  2. How her approaches translate to online work

    Erika commonly uses Motivational Interviewing to help people move through ambivalence. This approach focuses on clear, nonjudgmental conversation and small, client-driven goals to support change. It can be helpful for issues like addiction, procrastination, or trouble starting new habits. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which prioritizes listening and understanding. This style helps people feel heard and supported while they sort through values, grief, or life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is another frequent approach and focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Finding the right approach is part of the process. Erika will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. That choice is collaborative and can change as progress is made. Confirm the available session options before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, save commute time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist about scheduling and preferences so sessions match everyday routines and goals.
